Nonsense Song Nursery Rhyme

If it seems absurd that a cuckoo bird is as crazy as a loon, but you hear the talk he’s around a clock all morning, night, and noon, then it should not astound that he’s a little wound, and sounds a kooky tune. When a pachyderm gets the urge to squirm does it wrinkle up his skin? If he dunks a skunk with his long gray trunk would you say he stinks again? Can he use his nose like a big long hose to wash away his sin? If the sky turns gray on a rainy day, does he just blend right in? The world is oh so deep. It keeps me from my sleep - like, why do we count sheep? If a rooster yells, is he on egg shells when he tiptoes ‘round the hen? And can you confirm that a mattress firm is on hard times again? It’s matters such as these that bring me to my knees; I need some answer, please! ---------- for the Be Creative Poetry Contest sponsored by Eve Roper written on 11/1/22

You need to write children's books! Like Shell Silverstein!

Well, I go and write something I really like, like 'The Frog King' or 'Toady Sings the Moon', but it doesn't seem like the right story for a small child anyway. And I have trouble with the short nonsense nursery rhymes totally appropriate for young agers.

I would honestly love to, but I really struggle to come up with the appropriate poems - I end up in dark places sometimes! :-)

Jeff, you have such an imagination. You must be absolutely revered by your grandchildren.

My Genevieve and I do get to belly-laughing. I think the others just think I'm a little off :-)
